Stickvorlage für Perlenstickerei (Kunstleinwand, ohne Perlen) „Kaffeepause“

«Coffee break» is a stack of colourful cups named for the days of the week, under a motto about not hurrying.

What the picture shows

Five cups are piled into a tower: a black-and-white striped one, a lilac one with a small pattern, a brown one with leaves, a mint polka-dot one and a yellow-green one with foliage. Each carries a label with a handwritten day, from Monday to Friday. On the right hangs a yellow card in a beaded frame with the words «ONE CUP AT A TIME», and across the top runs the handwritten line «Take life», laid in black beads. The background is pale blue, entirely covered with fine printed text naming coffee drinks. The beadwork is partial: beads form the cups, the labels, the card, the lettering and the leaves, while the blue ground with its small print stays printed on the canvas.

What you get

• Natural artist canvas with the full-colour pattern printed on it — no chart to follow on a screen
• Colour key for Czech Preciosa beads
• Beads, needles and thread are chosen separately

Specifications

• Finished size: 200×200 mm (7.8×7.8 in)

The square piece is made for a kitchen, a café or the corner where the coffee machine lives. It needs the fewest beads in the series, so it can be finished in a few evenings. The flat graphic composition looks good without a frame as well, simply on a stretcher.
